Power steering question

My power steering pump will not make the wheels turn all the way while at a complete stop, is this normal for the 2500s. I have 315s. I had a jeep wrangler w/37s and it turned them just fine(with a little whine). The dodge turns the tires about half way then completly gives out. When i let the brake out a little bit and move forward they turn great.

Mine did it today, it won't turn at all at a stop. It's whining also. Only have 750 miles on the truck. I noticed that when I went to stop this morning it wasn't as quick of a stop as normal, had to push harder.

Fluid level is fine. I already know that PS puimp assists the brakes.

Anyone have any ideas?

I don't like taking it back to the dealer, its a work truck.

Hey, I had my PS pump replaced under warranty. Thats a first, I'm usually denied warranty claims for one reason or another.

All along I thought this truck required two hands to turn it. Not anymore.
